Taking an application-oriented approach, this book addresses the art and science of mathematical modeling related to the mixed integer programming (MIP) framework and discusses the algorithms and associated practices that enable those models to be solved most efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins with coverage of successful applications, systematic modeling procedures, typical model types, transformation of non-MIP models, combinatorial optimization problem models, and automatic preprocessing to obtain a better formulation. Subsequent chapters present algebraic and geometric basic concepts of linear programming theory and network flows needed for understanding integer programming. Finally, the book concludes with classical and modern solution approaches as well as the key components for building an integrated software system capable of solving large-scale integer programming and combinatorial optimization problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, the authors demonstrate essential concepts through numerous examples and figures. Each new concept or algorithm is accompanied by a numerical example, and, where applicable, graphics are used to draw together diverse problems or approaches into a unified whole. In addition, features of solution approaches found in today's commercial software are identified throughout the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThoroughly classroom-tested, \u003ci\u003eApplied Integer Programming\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent book for integer programming courses at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a well-organized reference for professionals, software developers, and analysts who work in the fields of applied mathematics, computer science, operations research, management science, and engineering and use integer-programming techniques to model and solve real-world optimization problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45201808097431,"sku":"9780470373064","price":13822.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780470373064.webp?v=1767307628","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/applied-integer-programming-modeling-and-solution-9780470373064","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
